They now lead VAN MORRISON, THE CURE and ELVIS COSTELLO who each boast three headline appearances.

ARCTIC MONKEYS, BLUR, OASIS and DAVID BOWIE have two apiece. Coldplay will bring the 2016 Glasto weekend to a close with a Sunday night Pyramid Stage set including songs from new album A Head Full Of Dreams and their back catalogue.

I’m told festival organiser MICHAEL EAVIS had the Coldplay deal done for some time but plans for their live show are already starting to come together, even with eight months to go.

A source close to the band said: “Michael likes getting things sorted as early as possible and having a solid, reliable Sunday headline act to send people home happy is a massive part of the booking process.

“Coldplay are Glastonbury veterans and will have no problem filling a two-hour set that punters will love.”

I previously revealed FOO FIGHTERS have signed up for next year’s Friday night slot.

That came after they were forced to pull out just weeks before this summer’s festival when frontman DAVE GROHL broke his leg at a gig in Sweden.
